Question

Guillermo has 6 days left to finish his summer reading project but still needs to select a book to read. He can read a maximum of 22 pages in 1 day.

Which inequality can Guillermo use to help him select a book with x pages so that he can complete the book within 6 or fewer days?

Answer 1

x / 22 ≤ 6

Explanation:

Given that :

Maximum number of pages readable per day = 22

Number of days left = 6

The book which can be completed within 6 days or fewer:

Number of readable pages per day :

(Total number of pages / maximum number of pages readable per day) ≤ number of days left

Hence, the inequality can be represented mathematically as :

x / 22 ≤ 6
